These involve the rules for the power of a point. For questions 6-8, we use the theorem that the square of the length of the tangent is equal to the length of the secant multiplied by the length of its external segment.
6. 6^2 = (3)(x + 3)12 = x + 3x = 9 units
7. 4^2 = (2)(x + 2)8 = x + 2x = 6 units
8. 24^2 = (12)(x + 12)48 = x + 12x = 36 units
9. The included angle is half the difference of the larger and smaller arcs. Since the larger arc is 85 degrees, the smaller is 25 degrees, and the difference is 60. Half this difference is x = 30 degrees.
10. The angles at the intersection are vertical angles, so both equal to 65 degrees. Then the sum of the intercepted arcs must be equal to double of the vertical angle: 2 x 65 = 130 degrees. Since one is 95 degrees, the other is x = 130 - 95 = 35 degrees.

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

The length of the rectangle is 5 inches more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 42 inches. Write an equation to m

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>Length = 13 in. </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2L + 2W

where;

P = 42 in.

Length (L) = 5 + W

Find:

length (L) of the rectangle

solution:

P = 2L + 2W

42 = 2(5 + W) + 2W

42 = 10 + 2W + 2W

42 - 10 = 4W

32 = 4W

W = 32/4

W = 8

Length (L) = 5 + W

= 5 + 8

= 13 in

proof:

42 = 2(13) + 2(8)

42 = 42 in
